Tips

Francesc Garcia - MONTFRANC

Woman and bird Woman and bird is a free sculpture by Joan Miró that rises 22 meters above the artificial pond in Joan Miró Park, in Barcelona. Built between 1981 and 1982, although inaugurated the following year, the work is made of artificial stone, partially covered with pottery painted red, yellow, green and blue treated as brittle, made by the ceramist Joan Gardy Artigas. The sculpture was Joan Miró's last public work. The work has to do, formally, with others of feminine reason. It is a vertical and complex shape: at the bottom, there is a rounded part of an organic nature as a rising natural element. As if it were an onion or a stem that ends up with a kind of bud, bud or mushroom head. Above all, however, there is something very different: like an uneven, sloping roller, hollow, all white-broken on the inside, shining when it receives light, crowned with a kind of yellow crescent, with well-defined horns. The color is used in a variety of ways, with effects made by trencadís. A presumed meaning has been indicated by establishing various relationships between sculpture and different organs, creatures and elements of Nature. The black, vertical opening has been associated with a vulva and the shaft as a whole appears to have a phallic shape.
